What Am ! to Do?

The symptoms of Biliousness are
unhappiIy but too well known. They
differ in different individuals to some
extent. A Bilious man is seldom a
breakfast eater. Too frequently,
alas, he has an appetite for liquids
But none for solids of a morning.
His tongue will hardly bear inspec-
ton at any time; if it is not white
and furred, it is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out
of order and Diarrhea or Constipa-
ton may be a symptom or the two
may alternate. There are often
Hemorrhoids or even loss of blood.
There may be giddiness and often
headache and acidity or latulence
and tenderness in the pit Of the sto-
mach. To correct all this if not eff
feet q cure try Green's august Fow-
En-, it cost but a tribe and thousands
attest its efficacy.

A Close Call.

James Armor who was EMPLOYED
at work on barn that he is buildine
on his farm near Bay View was struck
on the bare head by the edge of a
Ratchet which fell from above IA feet.
The conclusion was so great that be
was thrown into commissions, so VIC
lent that it required several strong
men to restrain him. An examine.
ton of the wound by physician
proved that the skull had not been
fractured, and after the first violent
parOxy SIMS had subsidized he steadily
recovered. The accident happened
about two weeks ago. On Monday
last Mr.. Armor was at Rising Sun
driving the conveyance he was riding
in. Some people are "sot in their
ways" and others are hard headed
but this is the toughest case of the
kind that has eyer come to our
knowledge.
